However, you should ensure that your appliances still work. Not only do you put repair costs on the charity, but you are also using the organization as a way to get rid of your junk. ‎ Find a New Owner There are many people that could greatly benefit from your used appliances, including new couples, students, poverty-stricken families, and many others. Similar to donating to a charity, it is important to ensure that your appliances are in good working order, and if they are not, you can put up an ad definitely stating that you are giving away the broken appliances for free. ‎ Contact a Recycling Company Before you do recycle your old items, there are several things that you should be aware of. First of all, you need to know about how refrigerator freezers, and air conditioners are recycled, as often these must be covered. According to your city, you may be required to take off the doors of your appliances to protect children or animals from getting trapped inside and getting hurt. ‎ Donate Your Appliances as Scrap (废品)Metal If your old appliances are completely broken, it might be best to just give them away as scrap metal. Fortunately, there are many different organizations and companies that need as much metal as they can get. Additionally, you won't have to do any of the scrapping or tearing apart by yourselves, as professionals take care and effort in removing harmful elements. ‎ ‎21. What's the similarity between the first two ways?‎ A. The appliances are given away for free. ‎ B. The appliances should be better in good condition. ‎ C. The appliances will be sent to organizations. ‎ D. The harmful parts of appliances must be got rid of. ‎ ‎22. If we want to recycle our old appliances, what should we consider?‎ A. What kind of appliances can be recycled. ‎ B. Who can really benefit much from them. ‎ C. Whether they will cause some danger or harm. ‎ D. Which is the most suitable recycling company. ‎ ‎23. What can you do if you want to donate your completely broken appliances?‎ A. Tear them apart on your own. ‎ B. Give them to companies that need metal. ‎ C. Remove the harmful elements of them yourself. ‎ D. Make sure companies that want the metal pay the delivery fee. ‎ B When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years at my life. I was a total outsider, bullied at school. I felt completely alone in my small town. ‎ But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14, I turned my problem into a passion for helping others. The opportunity to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation I received. I realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help them feel less alone. ‎ Books were my time friends back then. I was so thankful that the authors wrote those books. The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me. ‎ After surviving terrible experiences at school and at home, I made a choice to take the optimistic, positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream career is what I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day. ‎ Kindness saved me when I needed help the most. Even small acts of kindness can change someone's life. You never know what someone else is going through. But by practicing daily kindness, you become an architect of positive change. ‎ ‎24. What was the author's life like when he was 12?‎ A. Boring. B. Peaceful. C. Unhappy. D. Meaningful. ‎ ‎25. How did the volunteer work benefit the author?‎ A. It made him popular in his town. B. It helped him fall in love with reading C. It helped him understand others' lives better. D. It helped him find the meaning of life. ‎ ‎26. Why did the author choose writing as his job?‎ A.

Learn to care more about others' feelings. ‎ C ‎"They're made out of meat."‎ ‎"Meat?"‎ ‎"There's no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our craft, and probed them all the way through. They're completely meat."‎ ‎"That's impossible. What about the radio signals? The message to the stars?"‎ ‎"They used the radio waves to talk, but the signals don't come from them. The signals come from machines."‎ ‎"So who made the machines? That's who we want to contact."‎ ‎"They made the machines. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Meat made the machines."‎ ‎"That's ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? Maybe they're like the Orfolei. You know, a carbon - based intelligence that goes through a meat stage. ”‎ ‎"No. They're born meat and they die meat. We studied them for several of their life spans, which didn't take long. Do you have any idea what's the life span of meat?"‎ ‎"Spare me. Okay, maybe they're only part meat. You know, like the Weddilei. A meat head with an electron plasma(电浆)brain inside."‎ ‎"No. We thought of that, since they do have meat heads, like the Weddilei. But I told you, we probed them. They're meat all the way through."‎ ‎"No brain? So…what does the thinking?"‎ ‎"You're not understanding, are you? You're refusing to deal with what I'm telling you. The brain does the thinking. The meat."‎ ‎"Oh, my! So what does this meat have in mind?"‎ ‎"First it wants to talk to us. Then I imagine it wants to explore the Universe, contact other creatures, exchange ideas and information. The usual."‎ ‎"We're supposed to talk to meat!?‎ ‎"That's the idea. That's the message they're sending out by radio. "Hello. Anyone out there? Anybody home? That sort of thing."‎ ‎"They actually do talk, then. They use words, ideas, concepts?"‎ ‎"They do, but what do you think is on the radio? Meat sounds. They can even sing by forcing out air through their meat."‎ ‎28. The "meat" probably refers to . ‎ A. human beings on Earth B. creatures on Earth C. the Orfolei D. the Weddilei ‎29. The two beings talking in the story seem to . ‎ A. know the species of human beings a long time ago B. be quite different from human beings in species C. be made put of electrons D. be made out of metals ‎30. The tone of the story is . ‎ A. humorous B. serious C. objective D. surprising ‎31. It can be inferred from the passage that human beings . ‎ A. are the pioneer to adventure in the universe B. as a species are the same as other creatures C. as a species are inferior to the two beings who are talking D. are looked at from a new point of view D Poetry is one of mankind's oldest art forms. Since first analyzed by Aristotle, poetry has been part of every major art movement, and some say it captures emotion better than any other forms. Reading peotry is necessary to gain a full understanding of the world and has many additional benefits. ‎ The immediate benefits of reading poetry are improvements to vocabulary. Poetry makes the reader familiar with new terms and encourages verbal analysis. This presents reading as a creative act in its own right. The common practice of memorizing poems also improves long-term brain health. Studies have shown that people who memorize and recall poems are less susceptible (受影响)to Alzheimer's. ‎ Poetry also improves critical thinking by forcing a reader to think. In great poetry, meaning is not obvious or one-dimensional (维度). Understanding poetry is an active practice, rather than the passive engagement encouraged with prose (散文). Readers of poetry are more likely than nonreaders to analyze information for viewpoints. This skill benefits students, but also anyone who wants to form their own opinions of news items or gain a better perspective upon documents like contracts. The critical thinking skills developed through reading poetry give greater control language itself. ‎ The most remarkable power of literature is its ability to unite reader and writer across time and ‎ cultural boundaries. As condensed(浓缩的)literature, poetry offers these benefits in a powerful way. Poetry triggers memories and emotions in its readers. This connection between universal emotions and personal experience encourages the development of empathy. A reader might have no practical conception of what life was like during the Elizabethan-era in England. However, Shakespeare’s Sonnets with their universal themes of love and longing, can bridge the gap of centuries and help us gain an insight into peopled feelings in the 17th century. ‎ ‎32. Which of the following shows the benefit memorizing poetry brings to the brain?‎ A. It improves peopled long-term memory. ‎ B. It improves one's ability of analysing issues. ‎ C. It makes one less likely to catch Alzheimer's D. It makes one act more creatively. ‎ ‎33. In what way does poetry improve critical thinking?‎ A. Readers have to analyze information to form viewpoints. ‎ B. Readers must understand the obvious meaning of poetry. ‎ C. Readers have to gain a better perspective upon documents. ‎ D. Readers have to have a good control over language. ‎ ‎34. Why does the author mention Shakespeare's Sonnets?‎ A. To show poetry motivates us learn different cultures. ‎ B. To show poetry helps develop our empathy. ‎ C. To show the universal themes of poetry. ‎ D. To show Shakespeare's understanding of life. ‎ ‎35. What is the purpose of the text?‎ A. To ask us to read poems. B. To show how to appreciate poems. ‎ C. To tell the importance of poetry in history. D. To explain the benefits of reading poetry. ‎ 第二节 七选五阅读(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。‎ In her essay Friends, Good Friends and Such Good Friends, Judith Viorst creates a number of categories(分类)for Friendships, for her, some friendships are based on convenience, some on current shared interests, some on past shared history, some on accidental crossing-of-paths, and on ‎ and on. 36 ‎ I have just two categories of friends. 37 The short-term, low-investment(投资)category is a large and changeable group made up of people I've met since I moved to New Orleans eighteen months ago. My New Orleans friends are mostly classmates in my writing courses, people who see and comment my writing courses and whose writing I see and comment. ‎ ‎ 38 But they are also unstable(不稳定的)and possibly disappointing. This is because we often know each other better through reading each others writing than we do through honest time spent together. Such knowledge and familiarity, without necessarily the investment can create stresses. ‎ The long-term, high-investment category is primarily made up of people I left behind when I moved to New Orleans. 39 They are friends who know me, love me, and who can be counted on for anything, even though they live 1,500 miles away. I know these friends from the way they wash dishes to the way they choose a restaurant or drink their coffee. Every one of them was once a person in my life, standing in the low-investment category, and then slowly becoming forever friends. 40 And the work is hard. ‎ A. And the only difference between the two is time and lots of work. ‎ B. Such classification by her is beyond me. ‎ C. The change takes just that Investment. ‎ D. In many ways, they are friends whose concern is only based on profit. ‎ E. These low-investment friendships are delightfully strong and serious at times. ‎ F. This is a firm and efficient group, whose numbers can be counted on one hand. ‎ G. Friends of the low-investment category are always trustworthy 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分55分)‎ 第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ In August 1944, Major Claude Hensinger was returning from a B-52 bombing raid (空袭) during World War II when a 41 struck: The planers engine caught fire, and it began to 42 towards the ground. ‎ ‎ 43 , Hensinger had a white parachute available for just such an 44 He inflated ‎ (使充气)the parachute as he jumped from the plane, suffering only minor 45 as he hit the rocks below.
